President s have been impeached. Theyve resigned. Theyve been voted out of office. Never before has a former president faced a jury of his peers in a criminal court. Aaron katersky is on the scene at the courthouse. Good morning, aaron. Reporter george, good morning to you. This historic day is just now getting under way. Former President Trump seated at the defense table. As he walked in, he called this a sad day. Both he and the country are experiencing something entirely new. Prosecutors trying to prove a former president committed a crime, this case falsifying Business Records to conceal a hush payment to an adult film actress. This morning Opening Statements in the historic criminal trial of former President Trump. Its a shame. Its a shame. Im sitting here for days now, from morning til night. Reporter seated in court, trump relegated to silence. Prosecutors will introduce the case, which they say is about whether the defendant, donald trump, broke the law in falsifying Business Records to cover up an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 president ial election. In their Opening Statement, Defense Attorneys are expected to say trump relied on lawyers to arrange the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels to keep her from revealing her claim of a sexual encounter with trump which he denied. I was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense. Some accountant. I didnt know. Some accountant marked it down as a legal expense. Thats exactly what it was. Reporter prosecutors say trump turned to david pecker, who they say was paid to buy and bury unflattering stories about trump. Pecker is among the early witnesses. Stormy daniels will testify, along with michael cohen, trumps former fixer, who wired her the hush money. Prosecutors said some of the witnesses have what you consider some baggage. Trump said he could testify, too, during a trial expected to last six weeks. When im testifying, i tell the truth. All i can do is tell the truth. Reporter the testimonys going to be heard by a jury of seven men and five women that includes two native new yorkers and two immigrants. Seven jurors have advanced degrees. One juror praised trumps out spokenness. Another called the former president selfish. Each promised to be fair and impartial. Also this week the judge is going to consider whether trump violated the gag order which prohibits him from attacking witnesses. Prosecutors said it happened several times through posts disparaging cohen and daniels. The defense denies it, but prosecutors want trump fined 1,000 for each offending post. The judge will hold a hearing on that on tuesday. As the proceedings got under way here today, george, there was an issue with one of the jurors. The judge said the juror had expressed some concern about being part of something that is getting so much attention and indeed there are lots of people in the courtroom, a lot of people following this outside. But the juror in the end is going to stay on the case. The Opening Statements that are just getting under way are going to last about 45 minutes for the prosecution. About 25 minutes for the defense. Prosecutors will lay out this idea that this is the original election interference case. The defense trying to distance trump from any crimes. George jon karl is here. Lets go into more detail. From the president , impeach the credibility of michael cohen. Absolutely. They will say he is a liar, fraud, committed perjurer. He is the key to his case and you cannot trust him. George prosecutors will say he was lying for donald trump. He was his lawyer. The argument is look, 35,000 payment is for monthly retainers. They will also make the case at the end of the day hush money, catch and kill scheme, they will argue this is routine for somebody who is very wealthy simply trying to protect their reputation. George whats not routine is trying to further a president ial campaign sitting as a defendant in a courtroom. No. I mean, come on, george. This is incredible. Hes going to be stuck there as he was during jury selection while others talk about him and while you hear disparaging testimony. He was so frustrated last week. Even at the temperature in the courtroom. You heard him go on and on about how it was too cold, it was freezing in there. This is a guy used to being in charge of everything, who cant even control the thermostat in a courtroom. George hes spending an awful lot of money but raising it at the same time off of the case. As much as hes complaining and it really is bothering him. You can see it. I hear it from the people who are with him every day. He is making this his campaign both in terms of messaging, i am a victim, theyre out to get me because theyre really out to get my supporters. He is raising money. It has helped his fundraising tremendously. Every day you see more appeals directly tied to this. George big day on thursday as the Supreme Court hears arguments over president ial immunity. We heard from liz cheney overnight. Liz cheney essentially writing what was basically an open letter to the Supreme Court. And by the way, thursdays Supreme Court hearing on the issue of whether or not donald trump has absolute immunity for what he did as president is the weeks most important legal development. Liz cheney is saying the Supreme Court, if they delay, if they dont act quickly on this, they could prevent the public from ever hearing the evidence in the case. George thats the point. Its almost certain that they are going to say any president is not immune. But the question is, will voters get to have the trial before the election . Yeah. If liz cheneys point is, if this trial doesnt happen before the election, voters wont have that evidence. But if donald trump is elected, you may never see this case. The person who was responsible for january 6th may never be held to account for it. Robin thank you very much. Now the tension on capitol hill. SpeakeR Mike Johnson pushing through a massive foreign aid package opposed by some republicans. Selina wang joins us from the hill. Good morning to you, selina. Reporter good morning, robin. This is a transformational moment for speaker johnson. He went from being staunchly opposed to any more aid to ukraine to putting his own job on the line to push forward with the 95 billion foreign aid package. The bill is passed. Reporter this morning congress is one step closer to passing billions in foreign aid thats desperately needed by americas allies. With the senate set to vote on critical funding for ukraine, israel and taiwan after dramatic weekend in the house. The house will be in order. Reporter Speaker Mike Johnson putting his job on the line to push through the massive aid package. 60 billion for ukraine, 26 billion for israel, 8 billion for taiwan and indo pacific allies and legislation to force a sale of tik tok from its Chinese Parent Company or face a ban in the u. S. We did our work here and i think history will judge it well. Reporter for months johnson stalled on President Bidens request for more funding, but after classified briefings, including with the cia director and lots of praying, the devout christian made a dramatic turn around. Arguing to his fellow republicans that helping ukraine is critical to u. S. National security, and that they need to be on the right side of history. To put it bluntly, i would rather send bullets to ukraine than american boys. My son is going to begin in the naval academy. This is a Live Fire Exercise for me as it is so Many American families. Reporter but a majority of his members revolted. More than half republicans voting against aid to ukraine, with johnson forced to rely on democrats to even bring it up for a vote. Now at least three hardliners are threatening to oust johnson over it. He betrayed us three times. If the vote was held today, mike johnson is a lame duck. Hes done. Reporter with the gops razor thin majority in the house, thats enough republicans to push johnson out, as democrats and moderate republicans praise johnson for bringing these bills to the floor. I commend it by name traditional conservatives led by Speaker Mike Johnson for doing the right thing. Reporter but speaker johnsons job is still under threat. Those hardline republicans can still try to oust him in the house which is back in session next week. The senate will vote on this tomorrow. The president said hes going to sign this legislation right away. Michael . Michael all right, selina, thank you very much for that. Now to the Supreme Court, hearing a major case on how communities deal with the growing crisis of People Living on the streets. Terry moran has the latest. Reporter this morning the Supreme Court is tackling its biggest case on homelessness in more than 40 years and cities and towns across the country struggle to deal with more and more People Living on the streets. For all intents and purposes, a lot of behavior you see here today is illegal. Reporter at the center of the case is grants pass a small city of 40,000 in southwest oregon. In the parks around town, hundreds of Homeless People have set up in encampments. In 2013 the city cracked down, local officials citing unsanitary conditions and crime, banning anyone sleeping in public from using a blanket, pillow or card board box. Penalties included civil fines and a potential 30 day jail term for repeat offenders. But with no public shelters in grants pass, a group of homeless transients sued the city in federal court, arguing the law is unconstitutional because it violates the 8th amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Criminalizing people for being homeless is not the solution. Reporter the case has huge implications for the rest of the country. So many communities are swatched by homeless encampments which are often rife with unsanitary conditions, drug use, untreated Mental Illness and crime. These encampments in california are unacceptable. These homeless camps overwhelm quality of life. Reporter advocates say the homeless have nowhere else to go. Criminalizing the victims of our failed housing policy is morally wrong and unconstitutional. Thats essentially what the city of grant pass has done by making it illegal for someone to exist while being homeless. Reporter after over five years living in parks before a nearby church took her in, helen cruz telling our devin dwyer said she received 5,000 in camp related fines. I was holding down two jobs when i was out here and still not enough to be able to rent a place. Their low Income Housing here is 1,000 a month. Thats not workable either, you know . Reporter it is a national crisis, but the big legal question the justices will consider in this case is whether what grants pass has done really qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment under the constitution. A decision is expected by late june. George . George terry, thanks. Over seas now to israel where a car plowed into a group of pedestrians in jerusalem. Tom soufiburridge is in tel aviv. Good morning, tom. Reporter good morning, george. Yes, shocking video. A car ran into that citizen in jerusalem. Three people lightly injured then escaping the two gun men who were later arrested.

Which has been accused of human rights abuses in the west bank. The israeli leader saying he will fight such a move with all his strength. Secretary of state blinken expected to address that issue later today. Robin . Robin tom, thanks to you. There are security concerns here at home at Columbia University amid the israel hamas war. Rhiannon ally is here with the latest. Reporter thats right. Right here in new york city, there is growing concern about safety at the school, as protests stemming from that israel hamas war intensify. The president of columbia saying, Everyone Needs a reset. Classes will be remote today ahead of the first night of passover which begins tonight. This after a fifth day yesterday of columbia pro palestine students protesting. They want the Ivy League School to divest its stocks, funds and endowments from companies they say profit from israels violation of International Law and palestinian human rights. Over the weekend, several protesters were arrested. Thats on top of the more than 100 from last week. In the midst of this, a rabbi is encouraging jewish students to leave campus. He says until the university and nypd can ensure student safety, the nypd continues to have increased presence around campus on stand by. Guys . Michael hopefully the reset eases the tension.

Robin but right now the new fallout for tik tok after the house passed a bill over the weekend that could potentially ban the popular social media app within a year. Janai norman is here with what this could mean for content creators and the more than 170 million users. Good morning. Reporter good morning, robin. 170 million users and countless of those who rely on tik tok for their livelihood now concerned their Financial Security could be at risk. But for lawmakers, the concerns they say are about Data Security and personal information about all those millions of users. Today i am saying my final goodbye to tik tok. Reporter this morning the clock could be ticking for popular app tik tok. Breaking news, the house of representatives has officially passed another tik tok ban. Reporter over the weekend, the house of representatives passing legislation that could see the app banned in the u. S. If chinese owner byte dance doesnt sell within a year. The two options are sell to a u. S. Owner or cease operating in the u. S. Reporter an unprecedented move that sparked serious concerns for some content creators. Im happier than i have ever been. It is because this app has opened the door for me to figure out how i can make a difference in the world. Reporter there are over 170 million users on tik tok in the u. S. , many like content creator jennifer gay, have found Financial Security from the platform. Suddenly my voice mattered and i had a purpose and i start living boldly. 100 of my livelihood is connected to tik tok. Reporter the tik tok ban is a response to top intelligence and lawmakers concerns that user data could become compromised. A tik tok Spokes Person calling the move unfortunate, telling abc news, the bill would trample the free speech rights of 170 million americans devastate 7 million businesses and shutter a platform that contributes 24 billion to the u. S. Economy annually. I dont think its going to pass First Amendment scrutiny because there are less restrictive alternatives. We could have made it a crime to transfer american data to a foreign nation or foreign state interference. Bill has now passed the house. It is on the fast track to becoming law. Reporter the senate is expected to take up the legislation tomorrow, and if passed, President Biden has already indicated he will quickly sign it into law. But not so fast. Experts say dont expect the app to go away any time soon. Its not like the app is going to delete off your phone right away. It could be months. It could be years of wading through regulatory and legal hurdles to actually get this done. So for now tik tok is not for sale but if and when that bill passes, it would likely kick off a lengthy legal battle. So, robin, michael and george, those dances on tik tok in good shape. [ laughter ] michael thank you, janai. Well be looking for your dances, too. Luke bryan falling, slipping on a fans cell phone during a concert this weekend. Lara has the story. Oops. Good morning, lara. Lara good morning, michael. Fortunately country star luke bryan seemed to take it in stride. He jumped up to his feet. To show fans an instant replay of the scary moment. He even had a sense of humor about the incident joking that his lawyer would be calling. This morning luke bryan, latest star falling victim to fans behaving badly. The country superstar performing in vancouver saturday when he slipped on a cell phone that had been left on stage sending him crashing to the floor. Did anybody get that . [ laughter ] all right. Its okay. Hey, my lawyer will be calling. Lara the play it again singer making light of his fall, even replaying the incident on a fans phone. There it is i need something viral. This is viral, right . Reporter last night on American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and his fellow judges checked up on luke. Are you damaged in any way . What are you talking about . Lara replaying the moment for viewers and fans alike. Oh lara emily nicole was at the concert. There was a phone thrown on stage. There were cowboy boots, hats, water bottles. Lara she saw the fall happen firsthand and said the behavior of some fans was concerning. People were trying to get their stuff signed so they thought the best way to get that was by throwing things on stage which was not safe at all. Just super disrespectful. Lara despite bryans good humor about the incident, this is far from the first time celebrities have gotten hurt because of the antics of fans at their concerts. Just last year, bebe rushed to the hospital after a fan threw his phone at her. I hope shes okay because that was definitely a hard hit. Lara and harry styles taking several hits over the years, one time being struck in the face with a flying object. Artists have had enough. I think thats evident. So much remains to be seen about how incidents might change the concert experience. Lara through it all celebrities like adele beginning to let their fans know this type of behavior wont be tolerated. I dare you to throw something at me. I think theres definitely going to be a zero tolerance policy that will be put into place. Lara luke had a great sense of humor about it, but he could have gotten hurt. He did just kick off his country boy tour that hits the u. S. June through september. Hes okay, but truly enough is enough. Michael scary fall. Robin all right. We will see you in pop news.

George we are back with a South Carolina man and alligator. He was pulled out of the river before fighting back and freeing himself. Victor oquendo has details. Good morning, victor. Reporter good morning, george. This man was not going down without a fight. He said when the alligator chomped down he felt pure fear but his instincts kicked in and now hes sharing his incredible story of survival. I knew the whole time im about to die no matter what i do. Reporter this georging william telling his story as he recovers from a vicious alligator attack he thought would end his life. Strangely through all that fear, it was very clear what i knew i had to do. Reporter seen in this photo was diving for fossils in South Carolinas cooper river last week. He remembers surfacing then spotting the alligator making a bee line to him from about 20 feet away. When he was about a foot away he turned his head and opened his mouth to chomp down basically on my head and shoulders. I defensively put my arm up. Reporter the gator lashing on to his arm.

Michael first a look at top stories breaking at 8, starting with Opening Statements happening today in Donald Trumps historic criminal trial. Lets go back to Aaron Katersky outside the courthouse in manhattan. Good morning, aaron. Reporter good morning, michael. This case is about a criminal conspiracy with those words, one of the prosecutors began trying to prove that a former american president is guilty of a crime. Telling the jury in his Opening Statement the defendant, donald trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election. The defense will then follow, trying to distance trump from the hush payment to Stormy Daniels and the way it was recorded and instead saying trump relied on accountants and lawyers. The first witness will be david pecker. Prosecutors say he was part of the scheme to purchase unflattering stories ability trump and make sure they stayed out of print. Trump is slouched in his chair at the defense table listening to all of this. He is relegated to silence. When the court day began, the judge informed the parties there was some problem with one of the jurors. Juror number 9 said he felt uncomfortable about all of the publicity around the case. After speaking with the juror, he is going to remain. It does show how intense things are as the trial of former president of the United States is well under way. George also this morning Terry Anderson has died. He was middle east correspondent in 1985 when he was snatched off the street in bay beirut. Islamic militants held him for nearly seven years.

Stephanie ramos has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The consequences that may come with fake botox arent pretty. The cdc now confirms 22 people in 11 states have experienced harmful reaction from counterfeit or mishandled botox injections. Those people affected, 11 were sent to the hospital and 6 had to get a botulism treatment to make sure the toxin didnt spread beyond the injection site. Health Officials Say there are mislabeled packages out there and vials bought from unlicensed sources that are being administered in nonhealth care settings, including homes or spas. Here are some of the symptoms. They include blurry vision, drooping eyelids and difficulty swallowing. If youre unsure if the botox you are about to get is safe, go online and see if your state has a license look up tool where you can check to see if the provider or setting has the appropriate license. Dont be afraid to ask questions. Ask if the product is approved by the fda. Check it out if you can. And, of course, when in doubt, do not get that injection. Guys . Robin all good advice.

She was one of the brightest lights on and off the stage. Janai is back with her story. Good morning again. Good morning again, robin. Broke my heart when i heard the news. Thats what Jennifer Hudson posted after learning of mandisas passing. Its a sentiment shared by so many, as there are still so many questions about what happened. Tributes pouring in for grammy Award Winning gospel artist mandisa, who was found dead in her nashville area home thursday. Her team releasing a statement writing, at this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details. We ask for your prayers for her family and close knit circle of friends during this incredibly incredible time. Hey, whats your name . Mandisa. Mandisa what . Just mandisa. Reporter it was during season 5 when the california native wowed the judges during her soulful audition on American Idol. Sometimes i love you yes. Yes. Yes. Reporter placing ninth with her powerful vocals, mandisas rise to stardom was only beginning. Let the whole world see your true beauty reporter her debut album true beauty seizing the number one spot on the christian albums chart in 2007. Fans drawn to her relatability. The singer, open about her struggles with depression and weight loss, something she wrote about in her book out of the dark. The process of me coming out of the dark is learning the power of talking about uncomfortable things and how you have to in order to be healthy. Reporter mandisa releasing five album s throughout her nearly two decade career like overcomers. Youre an overcomer a song encouraging those facing adversity. Music video featuring our own robin. Robin that was a song that helped so many people. You allow yourself to be transparent. Youre letting us in. Totally. I realized as i started to share this story, i started to hear from people who said, im just glad to know im not alone. Reporter the album of the same name winning a grammy for best christian album in 201. The music world now mourning the singers untimely passing. Jennifer hudson sharing, she was truly a woman of faith. A bright light that made such a powerful imprint on this world. Paula abdul telling people, ill always remember her poise, grace and dignity. How could anyone forget those vocals . Taylor hicks writing, she was a powerhouse vocalist and she graduated to a wonderful career in gospel music. Better yet, she was a powerhouse person and all of us will miss her dearly. Mandisa was 47 years old. So young.

You said it really helped you get through. There was a clip of you holding your sisters hand. Robin dorothy. You were all singing along. I know mandisa loved you. Robin she meant so much to so many people. She helped a lot of people, myself included, during a very, very challenging time. She was very open in talking about her issues that she had. Just really thinking about all of her loved ones. Thank you. Yes, that was a special morning when she was here for us. Thank you. George going to move on to our earth week series, the power of us. Heating, cooling creates more Green House Gas emissions in the u. S. Construction and demolition create 500 million ton of debris each year. But things can be done differently. Ginger is going to show us how from new mexico. Hey, ginger. Ginger hey, good morning, george. You know, its earth day. Earth is showing up and showing out here in the land of enchantment. Look at that sunrise over the crystal mountains. Just gorgeous. As im standing in front of an earthship. This is a living vessel, not just a home, thats built into the earth utilizing geo thermal. Theres at least one of these in every state. Theyve got features all over, like this, that looks like stained glass. Its actually upcycled glass bottles from the ones you and i drink out of. The question is, why dont we construct our buildings more like this . We figured, why not live in it and show you how possible it is . This is my routine in the morning. Ginger at first glance, Mike Reynolds morning doesnt look much different than ours. This water was rain. Ginger he doesnt live in a typical house. He lives in something bigger. This is an earthship. A home built into the earth made from trash, concrete and dirt. It is fully selfsustaining. I imagine that everybody on the planet can wake up in the morning and be comfortable without fossil fuel. Everybody can grow food in their house that everybody can have electricity from the sun and wind. These buildings do that. Ginger look closely at the magnificent architecture. Its mostly upcycled trash. That beer bottle there, thats not garbage. Thats a glass bottle that will turn into a stained glass brick. Ginger they have timers to save energy on hot water. Washer and dryer. All the niceties of life. Washer dryer, cook stove, refrigerator, hot and cold running water. Ginger its just done smarter. Like the rain water used four times. Im using three gallons of water to take a shower. That same three gallons waters my banana trees and tomatoes. That same three gallons of water is recollected to flush the toilet. Ginger they have solar, but not for heat or ac. Earthships heat themselves with used tires. Each tire gets about four or five wheel barrows of dirt pounded into them. The sun comes in and heats that mass. And then the tire retains it and as the temperature drops, that heat would be released. Ginger we tested out the tire wall living in an earthship for three days. The house itself is 5,400 square feet. 2,000 is dedicated to growing space. In this house theres two ponds in the greenhouse. We have tilapia out there. You could catch a fish, wrap it in a banana leaf and grill it on the fire. Ginger our earthship has a wood burning fire but we did not keep the fire stoked so were gonna go through the night without supplemental heat. Good morning. First night. I slept pretty well. Im definitely warm. I guess thats what counts. An obvious part of living in an earthship is return things to nature. Leftover coffee going in the compost. But if there had to be one thing from earthship that we could apply to homes across america, what would be the most important . You can add a greenhouse on the south side of your house. That will heat those rooms that are near that. You can become aware of the fact that heat comes from that thing and you can catch that heat. Ginger back in new york, im taking his advice. I love to garden, but our season in new york is really short. So this is not an earthship but there are plenty of these smaller greenhouses that you can invest in and extend your season, be a little closer to earth. There are more than 100 earthships, but mike says we need more. I mean, the solutions or the way forward on this planet is gonna have to be this way. Ginger you can get a base model, two bed, two bath, for about 400,000. You can also rent them out. Which is how we stayed here for three days two nights. They use decoration as insulation. Heavy curtains that trap in heat, kind of like a layered effect throughout the home. Being pesticide free and living with your food is huge. Having a washer and dryer is huge. All that water, and the water that comes from your shower, which is from rain, that goes into the drains and then from that drain, it comes in through filters to water your plants. Then it goes back into the toilet, which is how it flushes. Efficiency beyond. I think its so special that you can wake up, pick something, live with earth instead of against it. Yes, in case anybody was wondering, i did get home and my city boy husband was like, come on, tell me were not really gonna live in an earthship. I thought, well, were gonna start trying. [ laughter ] michael we have definitely learned a lot from this, ginger. We were all saying you probably dont want to come back. Thats right up your alley. We thank you for bringing that to us. You can see more of gingers earthship living experience by checking out abc news live prime tonight at 7 00 p. M. Eastern and tomorrow the one simple thing in your kitchen you can replace to cut down on waste and save money. Ginger, im tossing it back to you to give us some weather. What you got . Ginger yes. Hey, as cold as it is this morning, they use solar for all the electricity here. I thought it would be important to see just how much solar has grown on this earth day. The states you see highlighted there are leading. Texas and california are at the top. There are sometimes where solar is powering more than our fossil fuels. We are making great strides, but we are far from all living in an earthship. That is for sure. Thats the big picture. Lets get a check now closer to michael time for a little monday morning pop tphaoutz with lara. What you got . Lara lets do it. Busy morning. We are going to get spicy thanks to these ladies and their surprise reunion over the weekend. Yep. Posh, baby, ginger and sporty all got back together over the weekend to celebrate victoria beckhams 50th birthday.

Right now thank you very much i need somebody with a human touch hey you always on the run last time all five members of the spice girls performed together was in 2012 at the london olympics. Opening ceremony. They still have the moves though, guys. Other party goers included eva longoria, gordon ramsay, marc anthony, tom cruise, all there to wish posh spice a very happy birthday. The birthday girl herself posting photos on instagram, family and friends writing, i dont think i have ever felt as loved as i did last night. Thats the way you should be.

We are getting our chance to see the massive cup right here, right now. Come on out guys, want you to meet miragh. She is one of four professional stanley cup keepers. Thank you for being with us.

I am the archivist for the hockey hall of fame in toronto. One of our most recognizable artifacts, of course, and famous artifacts in the world is the stanley cup at 131 years old. Lara it sure is. Weve seen this cup go everywhere. Can you explain how it works . How is it that we have seen this cup on boats . Weve seen it at schools. How does it actually work . Theres an amazing tradition in hockey. Playoffs started so were waiting to see where well be in the summer. But the tradition is that the players and staff get to have a day with the trophy to celebrate with it how they would with their family and their communities. All that goes wherever this cup goes. So whatever that player chooses to do with his day, were with him. Youre along for the ride. You bet. Thats funny. But the stories you could tell. Yeah, well, stanley could talk. Its interesting. Im just getting a wrap. Im getting a hard wrap. And one thing thats interesting is that every. This is the only trophy where its not just the team name, its the players on the cup. Yeah, its the only trophy in professional sports where the players names are engraved on it, as well as staff members. They have 52 names that they can that they can engrave on the trophy. Wow.

Lara we are back with the New York Times best selling author known as the reigning queen of the beach reads, happy place, book lovers, people you meet on vacation, beach read. Emily henrys latest book is called a funny story. Its coming out just in time for warmer weather, and we cannot wait. Were so happy you came. Im so happy to be here. Thank you for having me. Lara im fan girling. I couldnt get happy place out of my head. I read it last summer. It made me so happy. It also keeps you gripped. Youre wondering, we fall in love with these characters. Give us a snippet about funny story. I want to hear about the title and people in it. Perfect. Funny story is about this uptight librarian who is engaged. She thinks her life is perfect. She just moved to this new town to be with her fiance and then he breaks up with her and her whole life is thrown into chaos. She has to move in with petras exboyfriend. Lara oh boy. Chaos ensues. We love mess. At least its a start. Lara of course. Yeah. They kind of figure out that maybe its not the worst thing in the world because they could lead their exes to think maybe theyre together now, make them a bit jealous. Lara i can not wait. Its really fun. Lara you say rom coms are a huge inspiration for you. I totally see this. Yeah. Lara it is like reading a rom com. You get so invested in the characters, they literally come to life on the page. Thank you. Lara which rom coms would you say have inspired you the most . I feel like nora efrons catalog. Lara 100 . It doesnt get better than that. The desk set which her parents made is one of my favorites. I think those two have been so significant for kind of finding my own voice. Lara you sure have. So several of your books are headed to the big screen. Im going to brag. Beach read, people we meet on vacation and book lovers. The internet is buzzing about possible casting of two stars that we love. They are being talked about online as possible leading couple, i guess. What do you think about the buzz and what do you think about them in one of your books . I think my readers are so smart and have such good taste. So obviously if they think its a good idea then im like, yeah, that would be amazing. Theyre very talented actors. Lara what do you think about the idea that three of your books will come to life on the big screen . Its surreal. As you were saying, im so inspired by romantic comedy films, and so it feels full circle in a way. Yeah, i cant wait. Lara as youre writing, are you thinking movie . Honestly, im not thinking, oh, this could be an adaptation. Im such a visual person so i see it all play out. Theres a piece of me that like its already a movie in my head. Lara do you have a favorite or is it impossible . Its impossible. But i will say right now funny story is my favorite. Its Something Like your newest book is so close to your heart. Close to the surface. Lara do you get sad towards the end when youre writeing . Yeah. Lara i didnt want it to end. Yeah. There is that bitter sweetness which is a feeling im always chasing as a reader as well as a writer. That shows i have done my job if im actually feeling reluctant to let go of the characters. Lara we have a lot of people who love you. Some wanted to ask questions so we thought wed throw it out there. First one is on tape. This is katie, everybody. Take a listen. Hey, emily, im katie. My question is, are any of your characters inspired by people in your own life . I love that. Yeah. I mean, nobody is directly listed, but there are so many similarities between a lot of the side characters, especially in beach read. The best friend was modelled fairly closely to one of my real life best friends. In happy place theres an urban farmer with stick and poke vegetable tattoos. I have a friend who has them. Little details to make the characters feel more real. Lara cool. Heres another question. I thought this was a good question. Would you ever consider directing . It sort of feels, again, like i get that feeling that youd be really good at it. Thank you. I would love to try my hand at that. First things first. I need to get onto a movie set. But next. I love that. That would be so fun. Like i said, i can see it. Im very open to that. Lara last social media question. Tortured poet in all of us. If funny story was a taylor swift song, which song would it be . It would probably start out with some down bad or loml. Then kind of comes around to karma by the end. Lara oooh. You had me at hello. Im really in. All right. Emily, we thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, lara. Lara such a pleasure. Oh my gosh. Lara keep writing, please. Everybody, you will want to check this out. Its called funny story out tomorrow wherever books are sold. Im sure a movie before you know it. Lets go to ginger now, back in new mexico. Ginger yes. Here in front of the solar wall at this earthship. Its a chilly morning here in new mexico. Especially far below average in much of the United States. At least in the northeast and parts of the mid south. Some temperatures in tennessee subfreezing but should be closer to 50. You say wait a minute, i thought the globe was warming . Average temperatures most definitely are. In fact, new mexico here, new jersey, delaware, amongst five top warming states in the United States. So its all about the average temperature throughout the year. Our overnight lows are actually going up more than anything. Thats the big picture. Lets get a check closer to home. Eva now to a viral food alert. Its our mission to bring you the latest on the mashup and cooking hacks. This morning its all about the stuffed bagel. Rhiannon is back. I am so happy to be part of this mission. Bagels are pretty perfect as they are. Eva they really are. But stuffed bagels take them to a whole new level. I have two questions. Are they easy to make and are they delicious . When i tell you these are the best bagels i have ever made, i mean it. Its the breakfast staple we know and love, but bagel buffs are skipping the spread and creating something even better, the stuffed bagel. The trend started in los angeles by cofounder alex stone. My wife, she is the best cook that i know. She had been making the garlic bread for friends and family. Its generated from korea. We always look around, what is really trending in the world . We bring it to los angeles. It kind of went viral on social media. We have acquired the bagels. Oh my god, these look stunning. Reporter now, with the homemade version of the mashup spreading on social media. Now we dump this in the bottle. Time to see if this lives up to the hype. The first step is to cut your bagel. Youre not going to cut it all the way through. Now were piping in the cream cheese. Were going to put a lot in each slit. Next step is bathe it in butter. That looks so good. Yeah. We preheat the oven. These are ready to go in. The cheese will melt. I think theyre done. Look at that. Smells so good. This is what it should look like. Time to try it. Here you go. Oh my gosh. Mom, this is really good. She said, mom, this is really good. This trend definitely lives up to the hype. I am happy to report because they were easy to make the whole family loved them. You both are moms just like me. Thats saying a lot, when the whole family loves them. Lara theyll participate and eat the whole thing. Do you want another bite . Lara yeah. Exactly. Really delish.
